With 2006 champion Alessandro Polita promoting himself to the World Superbike championship grid the fight for the title is wide open this year, even with the return of another former champion, Didier Van Keymeulen (TTSL MGM Racing Yamaha). Three manufacturers have new machines in 2007, with latest Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSX-Rs ready to take on the biggest Ducati twin ever, the 1098S. The potential champions in this field are almost without limit, in a class with a grid of almost 40 regulars.
Claudio Corti (Team Lorenzini by Leoni Yamaha) went fastest in recent Valencia tests with Ayrton Badovini (Biassono Unionbike MV Agusta) second and Niccolo Canepa (Ducati Xerox 1098) just behind.
